Get maximum value with Zend_Db_Table - max

Ive got a Zend_Db_Table
Now I want to get the maximum available value of a field.
Is there a way to get the MAX(number) value or do I need to use basic SQL?
Thanks!

Use
new Zend_Db_Expr('MAX(number)')
as one of the fields in the Zend_Db_Table_Select.

Is it possible to have a constant value in a calculated field in QuickSight?

In QuickSight, when you want to define a constant value to reuse it in visualizations later, you can try to set it as:
Calculated field: goalFor2020
Formula: 20000
But right now it doesn't allow you to put just a number in the formula.
Is there any way to do achieve having just a number in the formula of a calculated field?
The reason we need it is just to have a number that doesn't depend on any data, just manually defined by us.
Interesting, QuickSight lets me insert a number into a calculated field, just fine.
Since that isn't working for you, I'd recommend using a parameter with a default value. For example,
Parameters essentially has the same "rights" as a calculated field (it can be used in visuals, other calculated fields, etc...). It can also be passed via query parameters which may or may not be a feature that you'd find useful.
Another cool benefit of using parameters is that, if you're embedding QuickSight, you could retrieve this value dynamically and pass it to the dashboard. Then if you wanted to, say, generalize your for different yearly goals, the goal could be passed and dynamic (rather than hard-coded in a calculated field).
We could achieve it with a trick, just apply some function that returns a number to one of your columns, and make it 0, then add your constant number:
Calculated field: goalFor2020
Formula: count(email) * 0 + 20000
It does the trick, but there might be a better way to do it.
I have tried something like this:
distinct_countIf({dimension},{dimension}='xxx')*
+distinct_countIf({dimension},{dimension}='xxx')*
just makes the discount_countif meet the requirement, so it will return to 1. And use 1* the number you want to hardcode. If the requirement does not meet, it will return 0 so it won't add up the number

Distinct count a field that has been sorted by territory from another source

I am trying to find a way to get a distinct count on a field that is being filtered by a territory without using grouping because of the fact that I need to then pass this value over to another report. The easiest way would be something like this:
distinctcount({Comm_Link.CmLi_Comm_CompanyId}) if {Company.Comp_Territory}='Atlanta'
But for obvious reasons that won't work. Any thoughts?
what you have to do is a running total. Right click on {Comm_Link.CmLi_Comm_CompanyId} insert running total, type of summary will be distinct count and on evaluate where says Use a formula type your condition {Company.Comp_Territory}="Atlanta"
your formula and approach is wrong.. I doubt whether your formula compiled with out any errors...
first create the value and then find the distinct count
if {Company.Comp_Territory}='Atlanta'
Then {Comm_Link.CmLi_Comm_CompanyId}
Now in footer write or you can get it by right click on the filed.
distinctcount({Comm_Link.CmLi_Comm_CompanyId})

How to make sum of column value ? in parse

I just wanted to know is there a feature in parse to get the SUM of the column value. I read in the link https://www.parse.com/questions/how-to-make-sum-of-column-value that this feature is not supported through query we need to use cloud code. Is this the same till now? Any updates on this?

Using pluck with maximum

Is it possible to chain options when using maximum?
I have a PhoneStats class and I want to pull the name from a few columns who have the maximum value in the table. For example if I run
PhoneStat.maximum('calls')
I get the value I expect but I would like to get maximum value as well as the id of the user in that record. Is it possible to use pluck or collect for something like this?
Thanks spickermann
Thanks. Below got me exactly what I needed.
PhoneStat.order('calls DESC').pluck(:name).first
You have to write this a bit more detailed:
PhoneStat.order('calls DESC').first

rethinkdb: "RqlRuntimeError: Array over size limit" even when using limit()

I'm trying to access a constant number of the latest documents of a table ordered by a "date" key. Note that the date, unfortunately, was implemented (not by me...) such that the value is set as a string, e.g "2014-01-14", or sometimes "2014-01-14 22:22:22". I'm getting a "RqlRuntimeError: Array over size limit 102173" error message when using the following query:
r.db('awesome_db').table("main").orderBy(r.desc("date"))
I tried to overcome this problem by specifying a constant limit, since for now I only need the latest 50:
r.db('awesome_db').table("main").orderBy(r.desc("date")).limit(50)
Which ended with the same error. So, my questions are:
How can I get a constant number of the latest documents by date?
Is ordering by a string based date field possible? Is this issue has something to do with my first question?
The reason you get an error here is that the orderBy gets evaluated before the limit so it orders the entire table in memory which is over the array limit. The way to fix this is by using and index. Try doing the following:
table.indexCreate("date")
table.indexWait()
table.orderBy({index: r.desc("date")}).limit(50)
That should be equivalent to what you have there but uses an index so it doesn't require loading the entire table into memory.
This code is decision problem.
ro:= r.RunOpts{ArrayLimit: 500000}
r.DB("wrk").Table("log").Run(sessionArray[0],ro)
// This code for Python
r.db('awesome_db').table("main").run(sesion, r.runOpts{arrayLimit: 500000})
